This week it has been a conference on Arab Feminisms. I got the chance to go there today. The topic today was "War, Occupation and Arab Feminism". The Panel talked about:
- The disappearing Act of palestinian Women
- The Iraqi Feminist Movement: From Resistance to Acceptance
- Palestinian Women
- War and Conflict
- Afghan Women Resistance and Struggle in Afghanistan and Diasporic Communities.
Elaheh Rostamy-Povey says that women are suffering more then men in war. There are several reasons for that. They are being left alone with the responsibility for their homes and children. They are being raped and humiliated. If they become physical disable, their loosing status in society.

There are so many thing in the world today, I really don't know at all..... But for once, I am happy to learn about the Arab Feminism, since it has been kinda hidden in the West.
